Chapter 18
I walk up. And down the big corridor. We’ve been trying to reach Leonel ever since he ended my call but he wasn’t picking up.
“Madam calm down… Sir is fine” she said.
“Mrs…?”
“Call me Susan” she said.
“Tell me the truth… about Leon… and Kelvin…”
“Madam… am sorry but I can’t tell you anything… Isn’t he your husband?” she said. I was starting to grow fear for Leon. I’ve heard that Mavis have a torture house. I’ve heard he kills people…
“Leon… I mean Leonel… is it… is it true he…”
“Kitten… am home…” Leon voice made me shock. “Are you okay???” he said and walk down to me. I couldn’t hold his gaze and I lower my head.
“Y… you’re… you’re here???” I said. His hands were about to touch me but I moved backwards.
“Kitten are you okay?”
“Y… yes am fine”
“No you’re not… why are you behaving like this…?, did I do something wrong?, are you mad at me?” he asked.
“I have to rest… goodnight” I said and walk into one of the big room and shut the door.
“Kitten… kitten open up… kitten you’re making me worried… Gem… are you okay????” he yelled knocking at the door but I didn’t open. I went and curl on the bed.
I married my dream guy… but he’s… he’s… a monster.
Seeing she was not going to open the door. Leon called Susan.
“What’s wrong with my wife???” his killing gaze was melting Susan.
“Sir… she was asking me about your torture house and if you really kill people according to the rumors???” Leon gnash his teeth.
“And what did you say???”
“I… I didn’t reply… and that… that was when Sir showed up”.
Leon recall how she shock. When he called her and how she avoid his gaze. He chest felt sour and heavy. He felt like a knife was stabbing his heart. Leon walk towards the door again and knock.
“Kitten…!” he voice was calm and slow. “Kitten I know you can hear me… don’t shut me out… don’t avoid me… Please… let’s talk… it’s not what you think…”, there was still no answer from the room. “Kitten you’re scaring me… please say something… if you don’t say anything I’ll burst this door open” he said.
“Am fine just let me be” her voice was sad and down… she was crying.
“Kitten… Kelvin is fine… I didn’t hurt him… I’ll let you rest now… goodnight love” he said.
‘What?, I thought no one comes out alive in his torture house… dis he really let Kelvin live??.
The next morning I came out of the room and met Leon standing at my door step with a pair of jeans and a singlet.
He had dark circles round his eyes…
“Leon…”
“Are you feeling better now???” he asked and I nodded, he suddenly hug me kissed my hair. “Don’t ever do that to me again… you almost killed me last night” he said.
“What… are you feeling sick?, why is your eyes have dark circles??” I asked and I felt him tightened the hug.
“It’s all thanks to you kitten… I couldn’t sleep last night…” he said and release the hug. “I’ll tell you about me… but please… don’t ever ask someone else about me. If you have a question just ask me directly”.
“Is it true then?” I ask
“What?”
“You… you kill people?” I asked and he release me and took a step back.
“Will you hate me if I say… I… I did…” I was shocked to hear that “Last night… I. almost ended kelvin’s life… his life was gone… I wanted to kill him… but you called… and.
… Gem… I’ll change… Please…”
“You’re a murderer?” I asked.
“Gem!!!” he tried to reach for me but I step back.
“Don’t touch me!!!” I said.
“Sir the old Mrs. is here” a guard announced..
Leon was shocked… why was Rose grandmother doing here.
He looked at Gem.
“Am coming… We’ll talk later” he said and hurried away saying to the guard “Let her in”.
I waited for hours but he was still not here, I saw Susan, holding three cup of tea… Towards the living room.
“Who are you taking those to?” I asked and she bow at me before saying.
“The Masters guest” she said about to walk away.
“Wait… let me do that” I said and collected the tray from her before she could object.
“Madam… no… let me do it… you… you can’t go in there… you can’t see the guest…” she said and drag me. I fell down pouring the tea on my body… thank God it wasn’t hot.
“Madam. Am… am…”
“Why can’t I see the guest???…, don’t you dare stop me again” I said and stood up from the ground matching towards the living room.
Leon and Rose sat in on sofa… Rose hock her hands round Leon’s folded hands.
After the old Mrs. came to visit Leon, Rose begged him to play like they were still engaged because the old woman have heart problem… if she knew about their breakup… she might be shock.
“So… you two have been engaged for 5years now… how do you plan on your wedding?” she asked.
“We…”
“We plan on getting married few months from now” Rose cut in
“Good good… see how you too look good together… be quick and get married so you can give me great grandchildren, right Leonel?” she asked and Leon nodded forcing a smile.
“Honey… we are spending a night here” Rose said
“What…!!!!” Leon yelled.
“Yes Leonel but don’t worry about me… I’ll just be in the guest room you two can have fun” she said and stood up.
“Please lead her to her room” Leon said to his guard. After the woman left Leon remove his hands from Rose.
“What’s all these???, why are you here.. !!!” he yelled.
“Keep your voice down Leonel, do you want Granny to know?” she said, Leon rolled his eyes and his eyes landed on Gem… her face was wet… she was crying.
“Gem…!!!” he said and walk towards her. “Gem… why are you here???, what happened… why are your clothes messy… Kitten???” he said.
“You’re so fake” I said.
“Look it’s not what you think…”
“It’s not always what I think because you kept on fooling me… am tired… it’s not too late… goodbye Mr. Mavis” I said but his hands grab me and he carried me on his bold shoulders…
“Let me go… put me down… Leon… let go… ahhhhhh…”.
“Be still kitten stop been wild…” he yelled and drop me on his bed. He used his knee to pin my legs and use one of his hands to pin both my hands above my head.
“Let me go…!!!” I yelled.
“Why are you being like this… don’t you trust me???” he yelled back.
“NO!!!!!” I yelled. Leon was hurt by her words but he won’t give up… he knows he was hurting her more with his actions.
“Gem I LOVE YOU!!!!!” he yelled
“How can I believe that???” I asked still crying. Leon pinned my hands harder and I whine in pains.
“Fine… let me prove it to you” he said and kiss like brush mine with a fierce kiss. The kiss mas rough as his tongue entered my mouth, tasting every inch of my mouth. I kissed him back… his tongue met mine and the kiss grow hotter. His grip became tighter and I moan in pains and pleasure. My hands hurt… I whine.
“Leon… Uhmm” I said in between the kiss… but he wasn’t going to stop…This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
